Night Three - Tempo

Last night's third night of back to back to back running this week brought a tempo night. The idea became a 45 minute tempo run (10 easy, 25 hard, 10 easy), as this was a small step up over last week's tempo run. Leon and I tried to run with Jon and Lynette (I have grown weary of solo runs), but a meeting time could not be established, so off we went to the Rice football field. Simple route, start running the loop, and keep moving. Things went OK, but late in the 25 I was certainly aware I was working. Though I'm not aware of mile markers at Rice (2.9 miles around), I'm confident my speed, much like last week, was sub nine minute miles. Four more miles in the books, bringing me to 13 for the week. Saturday morning the plan is still to run with HoosierFIT while in Indy; this will be my first week with four runs in quite a while. I thought I knew, but maybe wasn't sure, that the entire USA FIT network started with HoustonFIT; something I learned from the HoosierFIT web page. Anyway, my fuel belt is packed, I've got my GU, I'm ready to run amongst the soybean!
